The Bible Belt is much less rural than some other parts of the country, like the Plains states and the Northwest. I can't think of anywhere in the Southern Bible Belt where you can drive 50 miles without seeing signs of civilization.

That's cool...all I'm saying is when such devistation happens to other parts of the world...people from the bible belt are always the first to connect the event to 'gods judgement'...

When it occurs to others, like Haiti earthquake or Asian tsunami, it's always 'judgement from god'...

But when it occurs in ones own back yard...it's always 'just nature'....

That's why I included the part about what people don't believe. I would say the exact same thing to people who go on and on about natural disasters being God's punishment.
